    I just don't see the point, the club is 'up for sale' already, protesting at those ****s isn't going to make them want to sell any cheaper or attract any new buyers, so why bother?

    Edit - don't get me wrong, I agree with the idea of currently or historically protesting against the ownership, I just don't see what the point is in turning up outside the ground on Sat to shout a load of abuse at owners who don't give a ****

    I think this protest is a really poor idea, it will make no difference to the Allams and shouting abuse at the players ahead of a game we absolutely need to win (however unlikely that seems currently), can only be a bad thing.

    Thought you would be happy I fed you that.

    Seriously, I do live in a Leicester post code which is in the lock down area. But I wouldn't come all the way up there to protest against them ****ers anyway.

    This should really help spur the lads on to win this hugely important game. Great idea.

    Who is behind this anyway? I haven't seen it anywhere else

    Agree, but some people seem to have an unrestrained need to vocalise "you're not fit to wear the shirt" at the players, and given they can't boycott or turn up and walk out at 19:04 or throw things on the pitch, this is the nearest they're going to get.

    Not going to happen, Ehab will get a load of security in around the stadium and no-one will get anywhere near the players entrance. TBH, I would have thought picketing the training ground would be more effective but I assume he'd have security there too.

    Aww another one who won’t be going. I think it’s a good idea and I’m all for it
    But I just know people on here who shout and scream the loudest won’t be going

    It would possibly be better to do it outside the allams house at a time when the game isn't being played

    What’s your point? Unless you’re willing to protest outside the ground you’re not allowed to criticise?

    Isn’t it clear
    Shout and scream on here, looking for likes, but actual feet on the ground protest would actually be significant. much easier to post on a message board and say I’m not going until they’re gone
    Direct action would make them go
    As you were

    You don’t protest against poor results.

    You do protest against attempts to change a club’s name, stealing public assets, evicting local sports clubs, attempted theft of local sport’s club’s assets, exploiting children, pensioners & disabled people, been **** & many other things ... but not results.

    If you feel the need to protest now because we’re going down without so much as a whimper, but not previously, then you need a word with yourself.

    The time for protest has passed. We can merely dig in & wait for them to do one.

    I’m not sure the time to protest has completely passed
    I’m sure they’ll come up with another half arsed scheme that will be worth protesting against soon enough!

    Wouldn’t put it past them.

    If people feel the need to congregate at the Stadium prior to KO on Saturday their time would be better spent supporting the players & staff, as they arrive chanting City songs & creating a positive & encouraging atmosphere along with. abusing & intimidating Third Division Luton as they arrive,

    Don't patronise me. I never said I would be going in the first place. <ok>

    I had already booked to go do some lovely social distancing golf, a much better use of £10 than watching Tigers TV or shouting at someone who will never listen.

    I don't think the protest is a good idea, by the way. But obviously, you decided that I did agree with them without me saying so, unsurprisingly.

    I know I'm new here but is this Chazz fella just belittling and berating people? What's the point in having a message board if we can't discuss ideas without personally trying to attack people.

    Me personally, I do not see the point in protesting further at this point;

    1. Due to my feelings of complete apathy to the club at this point
    2. What are protesters actually hoping to achieve? Like it or lump it the Allam's aren't going anywhere, better off finding something more productive to do with your Saturday afternoon.
